I'm in the process of building a new grow cab in an unused closet with dimensions H- ~5', W- 4', D- 3'. I've built a 3' space beneath the "floor" of my cab for a reservoir as I'm retooling my hydro system to turn it into a ~20-30 plant aero cab. I've already got a 1000w HPS I'll be moving in to the new cab as well with a cooltube and 6" ducting/inline fan to vent the lighting and an 8" duct fan exhausting hot air out the top of the cab and passively pulling cool air in through the "floor."
Here's the question though, I can't decide how to get the absolute biggest bang for my buck. I've gone over the pros and cons of everything I can think of but can't make a decision. So I throw the question to the community, hopefully someone else will be able to do a better job than me settling on one method (sog, scrog, etc...) which will give me the best yield (best balance of quantity and quality wins out) given the specs I've got to work with.
**note: I'm pretty well decided on the grow medium for this (aero, I've ran hydro before and am confident I know what I'm doin), I simply can't decide how to get the best yield from the crop. I can let the girls veg for a little while to fill out the space and have some fat ladies by the end of flower or go the opposite direction and sog with a short veg and a lot of smaller clones, or anything in between.
Peace and thanks for the advice :rastasmoke:
